Comedian Felipe Esparza talks with random people he finds interesting. It might be somebody kind of famous or it might be that homeless guy at the end of your street who you walk past every day without saying hello. Because everyone has a story to tell about how they got where they are - no matter who they are.

  • Your the best

    Crazy I’ve been listening to you now for at least seven years. I’ve been listening to all the episodes. My favorite is Wen. Toby Keith thought he had gout. No doubt. Can’t believe I’ve never written a review. Had to go on Google to figure it out now I’m about to blow you guys up on every episode.
